000,000 to aid in laying the cable to Hono
lulu, a distance of' 2.000 miles ; the other
company proposes to build to Shanghai,
0,5(10 miles, and asks lor nothing nut a
ivl nf liiu charter irranted to it bv
Congress, August 15, 1S70. and which
expired in lS7t, no cable having been
laid. This old company was formed by
Celso I a-sar Marino, and in It were Sen
ator Leland Stanford, J. C. Flood and
several other California millionaires
Thev were promised a subsidy of f 1,000,
000 by the Hawaiian government as
ism a the cable was laid. The capital
ist did not see sufficient and speed v
return for their money, the scheme fell
through and the charter lapsed. Marino
now rvpreent to Congress that the
company is ready to go ahead without
any snlisidy if the charter is revived.
Opposition to the subsidy idea is very
strong, and to defeat it an extension of
the old company's charter will be urged.

From out eternal fiienco do ire come,
Into eternal cilenco do wo go;
For was thero not a lir.'.e, and swift or slow
Mast come apalu, wlico all this world's loud hum
Waa naught to us, aud shall attain grow dumb
TbrouKb all eternity! Between two low,
Dork, stony portals, with much empty show
Of tinkling onus aud aouudiug life aud drum,

Or whence or whither, to what destiny,
But lie who dwells beyond the farthest dawa
Knows, yet reveals not, evermore even lie

Walking Stick.
Nowadays there is hardly any limit to
the kinds of material used iu walking
ticks. Formerly only a few native
woods and some foreign species were
used. Innovations in the styJe of walk
ing sticks and umbrellas have been con
stantly introduced during the last forty
years until their manufacture has be
come quite an art and business of con
siderable importance. Natural sticks,
that is, saplings of trees and climbing
plants, whose roots will form handles or
knots, are most used. They are some
timee mounted with pre&ous metals,
enyx, jasper, marble, precious stones,
ivory and horns of all kinds. Youth's

Tha Grral Actor'e Methods.
Clara Morris, m speaking of actors and
acting recently, said; "The really great
actor must be capable of doing something
more than to merely touch the biggest
fool of the audience. He must make his
audience absolutely fortretful of itself and
be himself the direct and not the indirect
cause of the emotional state Into which it
la thrown. To do this the actor must be
himself a person of Intense feeling and
must for the time at least experience the
emotion he la seeking to portray. Really
great acting Is a mutter ot feeling rather
thiwi of rrasoulug Intelligence, and I
doubt whether an actor who studies and
puszlea over the subtleties ot the author's
meaning is not In danger of checking the
manifestations ot his own histrionic sense.
No amount of art can make up the want
of one real touch of nature." New York

Proprietary medicines spring up by the

any outside those manufactured in your
own section of the country. Every prepar

star, as they seem to succeed or perish
regardless of the energy or money pos
sessed by the men who are interested in
pushing their sale. Noue succeed without
advertiing, although millions have been

for if the stuff will sell It will go off their

Besulta nf Overtraining.
There is one aspect of the Sullivan
Mitchell fight which is so far devoid of
brutality as to be of public interest; this
is, that a man seemingly In superb physi
cal condition may, iu reality, be so far
overtrained, as it Is termed, as to have
been deprived of his staying powers.
Nature supplies to us certain quantities
of adipose tissue, which may seem to the
critical eye of one who looks only at the
outside to be an incumbrance, which
should be reduced by careful training;
but it may turn out that In thus bringing
the human organism down to a mass of
bone and muscle the trainer will deprive
the body of the food that it needs to make
good the waste of physical energy. A
man thus prepared may be well fitted for
a spurt, but entirely nnable to keep up
under long continued physical exertion.

Children's Undergarmenta.
For undergarments, the best houses
show a little woolen knitted petti
coat, which has a waist like a corset
cover, and this buttons closely around the
body, and Is being knitted very elastic
and warm. Those who do not care for
the petticoat can find little knitted
chemises, which are long and double
thickness over the stomach and abdomen,
and every child should wear these at all
seasons of the year. Elastic suspenders
for the stockings shonld also be worn in
stead of fastening them by any other
means. Shoes for small children have no
heels, though they have what tbey call
spring heels, which do no injury to the
tender bones and muscles. Olive Harper.

The Hindoo Magician,
Keller, the prestidlgitatcur, speakfnr
of the famous Hindoo magicians to a re
porter of The Buffalo Express, said: "A
trick which puzzled mo for a long tuna
was making a pineapple grow under i

when In the center of the handkerchief
something begins to stir and rise In pyn

size of a pineapple, when the conjurer
inserts his hand under tho handkerchief
and pulls out a ripe pineapple.
"I watched his trick several times be

position on the side tho conjuren st
